Cheri Beasley was raised in a family steeped in faith, service, and hard work. She and her husband Curt raised their twin sons right here in North Carolina, passing on those same values.

As a public defender, a judge, and eventually, the first African American woman to serve as Chief Justice of the NC Supreme Court, Cheri worked every dayto keep communities safe, protect the law, and defend our constitutional rights.

• As Chief Justice, Cheri helped to create the first human trafficking court.

• She created a family leave policy for more than 6,000 court employees to help people take care of their families and succeed at their jobs.

• And she worked with law enforcement to take on the school-to-prison pipeline and keep kids in the classroom and out of the courtroom.
